Xoroth is training his fighting techniques on several fighting dummies, the amount would be overwhelming for most people, but the way he moves makes it seem easy. Small pearls of sweat are visible on his forehead, but that's not strange since he had been training for two hours already.

Silently Shi had enter the training center. She didn't speak a word as she walk past Xoroth in fact it's like she disregarded him completely. She silently and carefully set up several fighting dummy and when she finished setting them up she walked away from them. After gaining a good distance she turned and looked at the dummies. Though she was silent and had a dull looking in her eyes she had an intense feeling about her. Then suddenly, in what seemed to be a matter of a couple of seconds, she was right behind the with her arm partly transformed into a scythe and what's more all the dummies were cut into pieces.

Xoroth had noticed as soon as Shi entered and kept one eye on her all the time, noting her movements. "Nice..." He attacked a dummy and it looked like just a soft hit before the back of the dummy exploded.

Shi had not regarded Xoroth at all instead she just looked at the remains of the dummies she slice. "Too weak..." She had said to herself. She then set up more dummies and did the same thing. This time she had cut the dummies into more pieces but she said to herself "Too slow..". She kept repeating the process always finding something wrong with what she did.

Xoroth waited and watched her attack two more times before walking over and grabbing her arm lightly. "Do you want to know what you do wrong?"

"....." Shi was silent as she looked at Xoroth dully. She thought the best option was to ignore him and move on with training, after all, she didn't often take incite from others. But then again she had didn't always make the best choices. So Shi responded with a silent nod but kept her dull and uninterested stare.

Xoroth nodded and released her arm. "Try taking the first step with the other leg instead now and attack with smoother movements."

"......" Shi did not respond, Instead she decided set up the next set of dummies. Doing as she did before, she walked away from the dummies then stopped after gaining a good distance. She turned to look at the dummies and despite her silence and dull look in her eyes she had an intense, yet elegant feeling around her. Then in a flash she was once again behind the dummies they had seemed to be sliced the dummies into more pieces then before. ".....I see....." she said dully. Despite her response to Xoroth's adice she had followed it and it seemed to work

Xoroth nodded. "Can you take a complete weapon form?" He started to position several dummies up, some being several feet further away from the rest.

"No" Shi said as if it were an outright rejection. She could defiantly could go into full weapon form but knew it was highly unsafe for her to but in it or more specifically someone using her weapon form.

Xoroth thought a bit before remembering her from one of the classes he had assisted in. "You don't talk much right?"

Shi didn't reply. She indeed did not talk much at all. It was one of the main reasons she had no meister but not the biggest. The akward since she had might as well of answer the question

"You were alone during that class... might it be that you have never had a Meister?" Xoroth walked towards her.

Shi was silent as ever then she suddenly walked off and got a practice dummy. She went back to where she stood before with the dummy then her arm turned into a scythe blade. In a flash she carved something in the dummy then turned it toward Xoroth. It said 'If you get involved you'll die'

"What do you mean?" Xoroth continued walking towards her.

"Persistent...." Shi mumbled under her breath. She got another dummy and carved into it 'if you get close to me you'll die' she then showed it to him while at the same time making distance between him and her. She didn't like the fact he was getting closer

"Persistent...." Shi mumbled under her breath. She got another dummy and carved into it 'if you get close to me you'll die' she then showed it to him while at the same time making distance between him and her. She didn't like the fact he was getting closer

"I'll take my chances." Xoroth continued walking to her and soon reached out for her. "I'll be your partner."

"Persistent...." Shi mumbled under her breath. She got another dummy and carved into it 'if you get close to me you'll die' she then showed it to him while at the same time making distance between him and her. She didn't like the fact he was getting closer

"I'll take my chances." Xoroth continued walking to her and soon reached out for her. "I'll be your partner."

This had surprised Shi. "What a fool! Try to be partners with a person that is death!' she thought. The she realized that the first time in a long time she actually felt concerned and even same what mad. She couldn't explain it. All she could do was look at Xoroth with her dull look that hid all her emotions and say, "Name?". She wanted to know who this person was before she agreed to anything.

"My name is Xoroth D'Ernum." Xoroth stopped and nodded, still holding his hand out towards her.

"My name is Xoroth D'Ernum." Xoroth stopped and nodded, still holding his hand out towards her.

"Are you truly ready to die?" Shi asked in her monotone voice. It was usually a miracle to get Shi to say that many words at one time

"Persistent...." Shi mumbled under her breath. She got another dummy and carved into it 'if you get close to me you'll die' she then showed it to him while at the same time making distance between him and her. She didn't like the fact he was getting closer

"Are you truly ready to die?" Shi asked in her monotone voice. It was usually a miracle to get Shi to say that many words at one time

"I'm willing to try my chances." Xoroth had a look in his eyes that showed that he was telling the truth.

"I'm willing to try my chances." Xoroth had a look in his eyes that showed that he was telling the truth.

"Fool," She said bluntly. 'He's an idiot ready to face death... but I guess that's best for someone who's going to be my partner' Shi thought to herself. "Shi," she told Xoroth her name, " 'Death' will be your partner," she finished introducing herself but she did not take Xoroth's hand

"Persistent...." Shi mumbled under her breath. She got another dummy and carved into it 'if you get close to me you'll die' she then showed it to him while at the same time making distance between him and her. She didn't like the fact he was getting closer

Xoroth smiled. "Shi." He took a step closer to her and nodded. "It's a nice name."

Xoroth smiled. "Shi." He took a step closer to her and nodded. "It's a nice name."

"Hmph," Shi replied as she took a step back. She was never complemented for her name before. In fact she was shunned at times for it. After all it meant 'Death'. Even though Shi acted distant she was somewhat happy she got a complement

"Persistent...." Shi mumbled under her breath. She got another dummy and carved into it 'if you get close to me you'll die' she then showed it to him while at the same time making distance between him and her. She didn't like the fact he was getting closer

Xoroth closed his eyes for a few seconds before nodding. "Are you willing to trust me?"

"No," She answer out right. She of course wouldn't trust him instantly even she, a girl who blocks out all emotions and is Death, has standers. She looked at Xoroth will still dull eyes and said, "And You?"

Xoroth nodded. "I am willing to trust you as my partner. I can understand that you are unable to trust me right now, but I hope you will be able to do that soon." He lowered his hand. "The fundamental part of being partners and being able to work well together is trust."

"Persistent...." Shi mumbled under her breath. She got another dummy and carved into it 'if you get close to me you'll die' she then showed it to him while at the same time making distance between him and her. She didn't like the fact he was getting closer

"hm..." was that only response she had. She had never had a partner.... correction she never had an official partner so she never thought of things such as trust. She thought of meisters as people who used people like her like they merely are: weapons

Xoroth continued. "Without trust none of the more powerful abilities are possible, and a Resonance of Souls will be impossible. Trust between a weapon and a Meister allow them the read each others next movements like a open book." He smiled to her. "I guess this might be completely new for you, but are you willing to try?"
